But who will advance?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Marseille Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Hugo Grenier vs Arthur Gea<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>This is a battle between two French qualifiers who are looking to get their first win at the Open 13 Provence. Hugo Grenier is ranked outside the top 200 while 20-year-old, Arthur Gea is playing his first-ever main draw match and is ranked #306 currently. Grenier has been around for a longer time but doesn&#8217;t have much experience at the ATP level and hasn&#8217;t been performing well on the Challenger circuit either. On the other hand, Gea is on the rise and this would be a perfect moment for him to announce himself on the big stage.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Gea in 3<br \/>\n<a id=\"6Kdn9BjETKBpUpLuzM_0ZA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2097288974\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'6Kdn9BjETKBpUpLuzM_0ZA',sig:'7kdaA24_7DwhztTXCrxxvbDaJ_BXSeotPc_g-_hh-0s=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2097288974',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Lorenzo Sonego vs Luca Van Assche<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Lorenzo Sonego is off to a brilliant start in his first appearance in Marseille, defeating the dangerous Botic van de Zandschulp in three sets. Sonego made a high percentage of his first serves and was broken just once in the match. The Australian Open run seems to have motivated the Italian and he should have enough to win against Luca Van Assche, who got his biggest win of the season against Benjamin Bonzi in the first round but has struggled for consistency.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Sonego in 2<br \/>\n<a id=\"ipiezqYTQJd53T399e8ukA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2197144448\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ipiezqYTQJd53T399e8ukA',sig:'xz3RSGgEDYDuLnGcbiJ7C4qWmvdVcms9FcFtZrFE0OU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2197144448',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Karen Khachanov vs Hamad Medjedovic<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Karen Khachanov, who will play his first match since the Australian Open, has a brilliant record in Marseille. The Russian was champion in 2018 and reached the semfinals last year, but Khachanov is yet to hit top gear this season and would be hoping for a deep run this week. Hamad Medjedovic had an easy first-round match and he won it convincingly. However, Khachanov is a significant step up in level and the Serb will have to play at his best to have a chance of winning. Medjedovic might win a set but Khachanov should prevail.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Khachanov in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main photo credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six matches are scheduled on day three at the ATP Marseille event &#8211; the Open 13 Provence in Marseille.
